On April 14th, a party was held for participants in the chapter’s Buddy Program and their families. This is program is designed to provide support, mentoring, companionship and one-to-one friendship to youths with TS (Young Buddies) by matching them with Big Buddies, pre-teens and teens with TS who can serve as role models to the younger children and empower them. The Buddy Party was held at Grand Prix NY in Mt. Kisco, with bowling, food and fun. The buddies not only got to spend time together in an informal group environment, their parents had an opportunity to mingle and exchange
information with each other. The buddies also exchanged “Inspire” wristbands to cement their relationships.
